One pregnancy surprise I wasn’t expecting? My hair changing during pregnancy.
I had always heard about postpartum hair changes and hair loss, so I knew that was something many women experience after giving birth. But somehow I never connected the dots that pregnancy hormones could start changing my hair long before then.
Now that I’m 6 months pregnant, I’ve noticed my curl pattern starting to change. Some curls are looser, others seem to have a completely different texture, and my hair just doesn’t behave the way it used to. It’s such a small thing, but it’s been one of those unexpected reminders of how much our bodies adapt during pregnancy.
Pregnancy has definitely been a lesson in expecting the unexpected—and apparently, that includes my curls too.
